Entry Level Diver Driver?
Hey all, I know most places only take guys with prior jump experience or 500tt, but are there any places in the US or carribbean that take would take someone with 300tt? I checked every drop zone in New Jersey and it's always 500tt or experience. Maybe I could ride along to get seat time? Where are the best places to get entry level experience? :confused:

You can see how the operation conducts business (though doubtful since you would be non-paying weight), but even riding along isn't going to get you any closer to that 500TT required. You aren't gong to be able to log that time.
250TT shouldn't be a problem, got my first job dumping people out of airplanes at 260TT. |
If you are willing to leave the New Jersey area there are quite a few places that are likely to hire you with 300TT. Check these out:
Sky Diver Driver Dropzone.com: Skydiving Community, Skydive Information U.S. Parachute Association > Find a DZ Many of the jobs posted at skydiver driver require 500 tt but some don't advertise their minimums and might be the ones who will hire at 300TT. Good luck! |

Started my first flying job about 2 months ago at a local DZ. Hired with less than 500tt. It happens.
